SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 542,648, dated July 16, 1895.

Application filed November 26, 1894:. Serial No- (N0 mode -l To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN-J. KEIRSTED, of the village of Lansinghurg, county of Reusselaer, and State New York, have invented a new and useful Attachable Window-Seat, of which the following is a specification.

' My invention relates to the construction of a device that is adapted to be attached to window-sills, so as to form a seat thereon, on which persons when employed in washing windows may sit.

Accompanying this specification, to form a part of it, there is a plate of drawings containing ,t-wo figures illustrating a windowchair, showing my invention with the same designation of parts by letter-reference used in all of them.

Of the illustrations, Figure 1 is a perspective of the device containing my invention and shown as detached from the window, and Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the apparatus shown as attached to a window-sill.

The several parts of the apparatus thus illustrated are designated by letter-reference, and the function of the parts is described as follows:

The letter W designates a window-frame; O, the window-sill, and W the wall below the window-sill.

The letter S designates the seat proper, which atits inner end is made with a clamping-end D, which consists of a downward proj ection thereat whereby the seat may hook on to the window-sill, as shown at Fig. 2.-

The letter B designates the seat-back, made with side arms 5 19 which are pivoted to the seat-sides, and the letter R designates a stayrod arranged to connect with the arms b immediately above where pivoted to the seat, and which rod engages with the latter to hold the seat in a vertical position when raised.

The letter E designates an adjustable brace that is provided with a bail N, which at its ends e c is pivoted to the sides of the brace, and with its loop bail-form outer end made to inclose the seat and engage with the top of the latter when the parts are attached to a window-sill, as shown at Fig. 2.

The letters M M designate plates, of which brace E, which at their upper ends are connected by a rod 61, as arranged to pass beneath the seat S, and be within the slot m of each of the plates M, and to engage oppositely with the notches made therein for adjustment.

The letter J designates a holder that is pivoted to the seat S at 19 and adapted to swing out on its pivotedconnection and by means of its ring R receive a vessel containing water.

To attach the device to a window-sill the clamp D is made to engage with the inner face of the window-sill and the brace E is moved inwardly to engage with the wallW below the window-sill, and then the rod (2', on the outer end of the brace, is hooked oppositely into one of the notches m in each of the plates M, and the bail N is caused to engage with the topof the seat S, as shown at Fig. 2.

As thus made the device is securely attached to a window-sill and on which a person can safely sit while washing the window.

1 Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is l 1. The combination with a horizontal seatpart made with a clamp on its under edge across its inner end by which it will engage with the inner side of a window sill, and havingaplate at each side made with a slot containing notches; of a brace made with its inner end adapted to engage with the wall below a window sill, and its outer end having a rod adapted to interlock in the notches of the seat side plates, and having a bail that is piv oted to the sides of the brace with its loop ineluding the seat-part, and a back-part pivoted to the sides of the seat-part-, substantially in the manner as and for the purposes set forth.

2. The combination with the horizontal seat part S, made with the clamping end edge D, side-plates M, M, each made with the slot m having notches m of the brace E, made with side arms e e which at their upper ends are connected to a rod d, arranged within the Signed at Troy, New York, this 23d day of slot m and adapted to engage oppositely August, 1893, and in the presence of the two 10 with the notches therein and provided with a witnesses whose names are hereto written. bail-form loop N, that is pivoted to the brace sides and arranged to inclose the seat-part, EDWIN J. KEIRSTED. and the pivoted holder J, all constructed and Witnesses: arranged to be operated, substantially in the CHARLES S. BRINTNALL,

manner as and for the purposes set forth. W. E. HAGAN.
